“This is truly a work of art. It’s simple and elegant, yet significant and profound in its message.”
In some way many of us have experienced her story in this life or another. She was betrayed by those she loved, healed and served. They tied her to her tree and burned her. With Angelic intervention, although badly burned she didn’t die. In total disbelief that her friends could do this to her she made the monumental ‘heart choice’ to remain an active healing presence in the life of her community and nature.
THE STORY: Barbara woke up hearing the words “there once was a time a horrible time, there once was a time a horrible time” being repeated over and over. She went to her computer, wrote those words and line by line the story of Burned Woman was given to her.
THE PICTURES: While writing the story she saw pictures she had painted 30 years earlier that all illustrated the story.
